In Adventures in Economics, from Coffee to Camels and Back Economist Conor Woodman tests his charm, negotiating skills, and eye for a bargain against some of the world’s oldest trading cultures. Having sold his house to finance the trip, he sets off to trade his way around the world, hoping to return triumphant in six months with alot of money and enough anecdotes for a lifetime. His adventures trading camels in Sudan, coffee in Zambia, jade in China and many more oddities, are a compelling read, a look into the human concepts of money and trade as well as a reminder of how we lose sight of why we trade.
